Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is an adaptation of those classic terrifying books and it's basically the Goosebumps movie but for big boys and girls. All of your favorite freaks are here on full display: Skeleton Lady, Scarecrow Man, and, of course, Monster. I am joined by one of my oldest friends and OG PMI member Kevin to finally face our mutual fear of that neckless woman once and for all...

“I’m loving this imagery!” *swastika immediately appears*
EVEN BETTER
He did nazi that coming.
I died XD
you couldn't time a joke that perfectly 😂
Knew I was in for a good one with that strong of an opener.
Just hearing Eric scream as soon as he heard “woman with a pale face” is my favorite thing in a long time
I was crying
Dude that was me! It’s so epic
"YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK", is up there in my opinion
7:01
It was DEFINITELY the best moment of this craziness. 😂😂😂
I think Eric’s terrified “IT’S HER!” is exactly what the filmmakers wanted, haha!
I had a similar reaction for The Red Spot. That one traumatized me as a kid.
Literally same
“in his dream, a woman with a pale face”
*NOOOOO*
“black eyes”
*NOOO THIS IS IT*
“and long black hair”
*AAAAAAAAAAH*
*Proceeds to freak out*
The best horror scream ever!!🤣
@@candicep.3956 yes
I’ve never laughed so hard
"the weeping WAP" took me OUT
Payton Proos SAME LMAOO
💀💀💀💀
was there a story where the mom fs her son? Having a hard time remembering and believing that was in a kids book.
@キイキイ Ah, a man of culture I see.
My favorite part was Eric realizing that the books just materialize in school libraries and the blank spaces in your bookshelves. They aren't printed. You don't buy them. Everyone just had them somehow
holy fuck
Same thing with Animorphs
I remember seeing the books and the picture of the pale lady in my early childhood I never read it because I was to scared we never bought the books but it just appeared at our old house and it still confuses me on how we had it.
I think Goosebumps is similar, or used to be anyway
5:00-5:18
Eric repeatedly shouting “NO” is the Halloween equivalent of a hype man
Omg 😆
that actually makes fucken sense. 😂
This movie was gonna be cool no matter what purely because of nostalgia, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It was genuinely fun to watch. So glad they got Guillermo del Toro on this.
Oh man no I hated this film.
God no, this movie was so bad

The Gangly Man is actually an actor that is frequently used in other horror movies where the monster is eerily flexible.
Is he the guy from silent hill that plays the monster in the bathroom? Because that was the first thing I thought of
Yeah his name is Javier botet

still questioning to this day why this book was freely accessible to small children at my elementary school library
The librarian would read the stories to us during Halloween
every elementary school library*
Fr i read this in 4th grade
for character development
i read it when i was like, 8 or 9 years old- the librarian didn't give two shits.

@@PrettyMuchIt Hell yeah!!!!
@@PrettyMuchIt if y’all don’t... watch... hereditary......
This movie gets slept on too much and it’s honestly such a good movie and should be a Halloween classic! It definitely ranks up there as one of my fav spooky movies, especially because I remember reading the books with my friends and trying to spook each other!
I enjoyed it but honestly the monsters were the best part of it. Wasn’t a fan of the kids in the film, just didn’t feel attached to them. Loved the atmosphere and setting though. Would love to see a sequel.
The practical effects were so good! But sometimes the cgi was a bit much. The jangly man looked super fake lmao
Yeah it scared me & I knew it was a kids book. I could never read it cause the drawings scared me.
I honestly loved this movie. The monsters looked like they jumped out of the book and the fact that most of them were practical effects just made it better. I kind of hope they make another one with different monsters and maybe a different story.
It doesn't get slept on AT ALL. It's an overhyped, mediocre, by-the-numbers horror movie. I didn't even bother watching it because of how bland it was, and I never cared about or read the books.
Them saying "even more scary stories to tell in the dark, is that what its called?" At the *exact* same time and laughing was the cutest thing I've seen in a while
was really hoping it was clear that was not planned so glad you enjoyed haha
I remember reading this book series in elementary school - I was terrified of them, and yet, I couldn’t stop reading them! I’m so glad to see you guys covering these movie - you guys are so amazing! :D
also terrified, also couldn’t put em down
@@PrettyMuchIt whatever you do don't put your head down
The illustrations for the stories were scarier than the stories themselves. Theres one drawing from one of the books that haunts me to this day. Made me afraid to even open the book for fear that i'd open on the page with it when i was younger lol
@Angel Guerrero if it makes you feel any better, i can tell you the one that terrified me when i was 8, The Missing Bride, that drawing scared the shit out of me
The book and the drawing of the pale woman stuck with me since elementary until I was fucking 17
They just picked that pale girl with the black eyes because she's iconic because if I remember correctly, in the book, she's just a warning, not a creature that would hurt you. Hopefully, there is a second one so we can see more of the creatures on screen.
I was just thinking that. Like the character wasn’t actually evil. She just said some existential shit and left
@Whom Yeet Yes, but they're saying in the _book_ she didn't kill anyone.
@Whom Yeet youre missing the point and arguing over nothing
I can imagine del Toro seeing the pale lady and just rubbing his hands together-just so hype to bring her to life.
i mean, i saw a theory that her absorbing the kid was a warning and she was just protecting him from the other monsters??? just a theory tho. but i think it makes alot of sense
That egg woman thing is gonna give me nightmares.
Omg she scared me too!
ngl i think she looks kinda cute
she just wants a hug bro
Shes called the pale lady
This movie could’ve been so much more. A mini serious would’ve been perfect. Each episode a different story
Then they could have actually invested in each story rather than trying to conglomerate 14 of them into 2ish hours. You should become a producer 💕
Hey it’s not too late. Maybe it could still happen
@@BigMac87963 true they have plenty of story’s left to make into movies
yeah then they wouldn’t have seemed as rushed
@@leahtv7778 lol they should become a producer.. based on that one thought? Then I’m definitely ready to be an astrophysicist now because I watched Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson in it
"A woman with a pale face..."
*"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"*
HOW TF DID KEVIN SIT THROUGH THE SPIDER SCENE WITHOUT FLINCHING LMFAOOOO
I had to skip it once they started actually coming out.
Scaryoke is just a way to turn every song into the monster mash isn't it
we’re all in this BOOO-gether.
Eric is correct that the Jangly Man is about 80% practical, with CGI overlays to make his face move. The weird contorted movements were all natural and done by Troy James who also played Pretzel Jack on Channel Zero and had a few other noteworthy monster rolls.
The scariest story was Idk the name., but long story short, a boy is home alone and gets a call and they ask him if theres a body in his house he says no and looks around, still no dead body. his parents came home to him hanged on a fan and get a call asking if theres a dead body in their house. This shook me to the bone. I had nightmares about getting that phone call, lmao. (I was like 8 or 9)
Oh, I remember this story! I think it’s just called “Dead Body”, or something.
This sounds so interesting but i can't find anything about it on the internet 💔
@@sleepinotters117 here’s a link I found to the story! www.scaryforkids.com/dead-body/
@@wutiswut Thanks, I've been looking for that story
@@wutiswut thank you!!
“Harold” scared me so much as a kid. I was afraid of rooftops for a month after reading it.
Just the sheer scream of terror he gave at the pale woman is the single most favorite thing of this entire video.
The lady from “The Dream” scared me so much I started crying. My grandpa, the angel that he was taped a folded over piece of notebook paper over the picture of her so I didn’t have to see it when I read the story.
We're not even 5 seconds in and there's already vandalism,
*This is going to be good*
I just keep coming back to watch 7:03
So good.
That one part is just Eric freaking out and I love it.
The way the me-tie-doe-tee-walker thing was walking triggered something in me when i saw it in the theatre and I legitimately almost vomited. I full on convulsed and my eyes watered, it was so weird.
Oh i had that during Midsommar especially during the opening, i thought i got a Panic Attack
Everybody just has the scary stories books somehow in their house. It’s like the U2 songs on apple phones
HAHA PERFECT
I remember getting my copy of the book from an autumn book fair in 2nd grade. I had to trade gold stars I earned in class for it.
They were in my elementary school classes for some reason
I love how you lost your mind when she started to describe the pale woman. That was my reaction when I first saw this one cause she always scared me the most. Love the content guys.
This commentary track was the only plausible way for me to endure this whole movie... I would have been asleep halfway through if not for you and Kevin
glad you enjoyed, alec!!
The writing and storyline was good along with amazing acting and suspenseful scenes and nice visuals of the monsters. It just sounds like a you problem 🤷🏻
Olive Boi exactly
@@cleverdlebberschnebrelic8016 lmao sounds like subjectivity to me, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Different strokes different folks

from her and the toe monster
And the spiders
Yes I’m glad I’m not the only one
“Oh she’s absorbing him ohh nooo” “mmmm human”
I *could not* handle goosebumps when I was little. Like the book covers just terrified me for some reason
my older brother had EVERY goosebumps book and i loves looking at the covers and the stupid little punch lines on them lmao
Are they scary? Sorry, I don't know what book you are talking about, I'm from a Spanish-speaking country.
@@marshmallsy Oh god the camera one ("Say Cheese and Die"?) the part where the character stepped through the rusty nail traumatized me even though I loved the cover art. I put that book at the back of my bookshelf after that.
7:09 made me realize he would be a really good actor in a horror movie. That scream was perfect
My Favorite Part:
NOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOO THIS IS IT
7:10 AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
I’m so glad that I have so many people to share this childhood trauma with.
the jangly man is played by Bill Skarsgard. He can actually do that, there is no CGI
The sad thing is i know for a fact Eric would have made that joke if Jacob was there
@@acrouton1394 where is Jacob? i stopped watching for a long time and have no clue where he is
@@skimmy3022 he left PMI for personal reasons
@@acrouton1394 ohh okay thank you for the info
@@acrouton1394 like he left forever?
I will say that I'm really glad they used practical effects for the creatures in this movie. Plus, the guy who played the Jangly Man was a contortionist who competed on America's Got Talent a few years ago.
9:19 love the delivery of "you like to give credit where credit is bOOoooo" XDXD
I know one of the kids from this movie, he’s chill AF, such a cool guy
nice!
Which one?
are we just not gonna talk about the doors in the back opening on their own
Interesting pfp you got there
@@benjij6052 thank u sir
Who knew that I’d get mooned by a corgi today
Eric is just an outright entertainer through and through and I am 200% here for it 🙌
This should have been a Netflix series or something. One story per episode. Commit to the story and setting fully. No overarching plot bullshit.
That would be amazing, theres so many stories from the books that would be amazing put on a tv show.
So like the Goosebumps show but actually scary? Fuck dude I could get behind something like that.
@@TransCatboy idk man a few goosebumps episodes scared me half to death
@@TransCatboy Pretty much. Just imagine something like "The Dream" with the pale lady that fully commits to the atmosphere for a full 30 - 50 minute episode.
Personally find that a little tricky. If one story was one ep there'd be a lot of dead air.
I quit prefer the movie's take as it's at least engaging
In a beautiful world, it would be so cool if each episode also took on a different team of directors and writers so each ep had its own feeling.
I’m 18 and grew up on this book series along with Goosebumps, they’re what made me fall in love with horror! It’s really sad to me that a lot of people my age didn’t know about the books until this movie came out :(
What's coming out?
"Toothpicks"
so glad someone noticed that hahahaha
Oh I've always heard toothpaste lmao
“God is a woman” scaryokie version.
“God is a pumpkin!”
The Christians aren’t gonna like tht
"God is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" - probably Linus
Movie: Let's go girls
Eric: DUNDUNDURURUDUNDUN
I'm in love
"Where did you get your copy?"
"... I don't remember."
ME NEITHER MAN WHAT THE FUCK I JUST REMEMBER IT BEING IN MY ROOM.
One of my film teachers is the production designer for this movie
I smell the cap
7:33 "im not like other girls" energy right there
LMAO
eric's scream deserves an oscar.
"Why does he look like Zachary Quinto deaged?"
... I'm never going to unsee that.
Thanks.
i loved this movie, really excited to watch this with you sweet boys (even though i already listened to the commentary track)
my favorite scary story: “The Weeping Wap”
Get a BOOket and a mop.
7:10 timestamp for Eric's Halloween Scream
the scariest part of this movie is how dry harolds skin is 🙄🙄 someone get this man some moisturizer jeez!
That spider illustration always f***ed me up the most.
The funny thing about the 'Scary Story' books is the stories themselves aren't really that scary, or even terribly memorable, at least IMO. Even when I was a kid I was never scared of the words I was reading. But the illustrations I was seeing... *those* left an impact on me that has lasted well into my adulthood. Stephen Gammell, is a nothing short of an artistic genius.
I remember a substitute reading the spider bite one to us in kindergarten before nap time.
Ya know, I think she might have hated children.
Eric screaming adds 5 years to my life and I love it
I saw this movie in theaters! Me brother (1999) and I (2007) saw this together. I think it was a very special experience for us because we both grew up reading the books. This was probably what fueled my horror obsession. What I think people forget- is that OUR PARENTS GREW UP WITH THESE BOOKS!!! Schwartz made these books in the 80s!
This movie deserves more love. It brings the imagery of the stories to life beautifully and the actors themselves kill it
I've never read the book as a kid so I cant relate to the terrifying childhood memories others have associated with it. But goddamn the pale faced lady gave me nightmares when I watched this movie some months ago. 😭😭 And I'm 23
The Red Spot/the spider one was one of the worst for me
This movie felt like it was incredibly thought out and budgeted for the first half. The second half in the theater three people walked out... of five. My buddy and I were the only two left. When they left if was the absorb scene and one dude stands up and yells fuck this and dipped out. Two people followed him. My friend and I's morbid curiosity kept us there. Bummed on the ending but worth a watch.
I actually went to school with the guy who dies in the toe story. He always wanted to be an actor and it's really cool seeing him get bigger roles as the years go by 😁
I liked this movie for what it was. I was happy some of the visuals were extremely close to the book art. I know everyone wants more movies to be hardcore bloody rated R, but I like that it was only PG-13 so that it could actually have a chance to freak out kids that are currently aware of the books. I'd show this to my future children to scare them, there were a ton of kids in my theater, they loved it.
Also why didn't Hank Schrader just shoot Harold in a parking lot? Would've saved that bully kid who ate poop.
it’s interesting to hear that the woman with a pale face terrified y’all the most as a kids. it was always me-tie-doughty-walker and the spider one for me
So yes, the pale face woman, the jangley man, & all the monsters in this film were played by real people and made to look just like the books. Jangley Man does have a massive CGI overlay, but if you watch behind the scenes footage, it is a contortionist.
Also I love the NOOOOO that goes off anytime they realize which story it is
Funnily enough, the place I found the first book at my elementary school wasn’t the library, it was the nurse’s office.
7:12 same Eric same
The lady gave me ✨nightmares✨
How excited/scared they got when certain characters showed up is so infectious I kinda want to get the books and movie so I can feel it too.
8:09 “SHES ABSORBING HIM” I’m dying rn
0:04
Eric: “I’M LOVING THIS IMAGERY”
Art school reject: “DANKE”
gotta say i'm loving all the recent spooky content
The third book in the Scary Stories Trilogy is called Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill your Bones.
I know because I bought a set of all three books after seeing this movie the first time!
fun fact; a sequel is greenlit and should come out next year
9:08 It is an actor. All the monsters in this film where practical effects. Each having a full costume and then some CGI. The Jangley Man was played by a contortionist and they just put the mask on upside down for some of the scenes to make it seem like his head was on upside down. Its honestly a shame how much CGI was put into him
I love that idea of Trump's reoccurring nightmare.
I love Kevin. Can we keep him?
ALRIGHT, NOBODY MENTIONING THE MUMMY 1999 REFERENCE OF “YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK”
We love it
"She's got the spider bite? NOOOOOOO!"
7:10 that was the ghastliest scream I heard
I love the PMI Halloween commentaries. Hoping for some new ones with Eric and Jillian.
So glad I wasn't the only one that was fanboying throughout this movie. Found this book that was in the attic of the new house my family moved into when I was in middle school and it scared the hell out of me but I was so fascinated by the art and stories. Wished they made a full series of Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark.
Eric's reaction to the Pale Woman will never not be amazing lmao
“Look.. look damn you” translates to suffer.. suffer with me damn it
Me and my friends in elementary school used to gather together at recess and read stories from the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books to each other.
Then screaming every time they realize somebody is part of a story has got to be my favorite part
You guys are right, because my uncle had the book in his house, but he never remembered buying it.
It's like it was always there.
Bruh I always thought the pale woman was the creepiest shit ever and honest to god scared me, but the more I looked at her, I just thought shes kinda cute 💀
She looks kinda like a Quagsire from pokemon
so when are y'all releasing spooky god is a woman on spotify
Eric was legit screaming like HE was about to get murdered when heard the Pale Woman
I swear EVERY time I rewatch this video when it gets to the spider scene THERES ALWAYS A SPIDER IRL AROUND ME… Aaron you cursed me 😂💀
I remember reading the books that this movie is based on and I’m still terrified of those things.
Actually Eric is right about an actor contortionist was playing the jangly man. But I loved your reactions! I watched this with my 7 yr old niece and every time I left the room, she would follow me because she didn’t want to be left alone watching this but she loved the movie
That lady monster near the end was one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen
Yo! That was actually low key scary. This movie is well done for a kids horror movie.
the fact that my elementary school placed these books in the nonfiction section
that would make it 10× scarier LMAO
